WHY THE COLLECTIVE MATTERS
one First year...
and it goes by in a blink.
Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or welcoming another little one to the family, there’s an awareness that comes with it—
that this chapter will pass more quickly than you expect.
You tell yourself you’ll remember everything.
And then, one day, you realize how much of it already feels far away.
I’ve been there.
And it’s exactly why the Collective exists.
It offers a simple, intentional way to document your baby’s first year—planned ahead, thoughtfully guided, and preserved with care.
So instead of wondering if you captured enough, you can feel confident knowing this season is being held for you as it unfolds.

As part of the the Collective
Your baby will be documented at key milestones throughout the first year.
Rather than trying to capture everything at once, the Collective allows your baby’s story to unfold naturally—one season at a time.
From the quiet anticipation before your baby arrives, to the early newborn days, to the subtle changes that happen almost overnight, each session builds on the last. Together, they create a complete and connected record of your baby’s first year.
No rushing.
No guessing what you’ll want later.
Just meaningful moments preserved as they happen.
The Collective includes 3–4 sessions over an 15-month period, thoughtfully spaced to capture each stage as it unfolds—often including maternity, newborn, milestone, and first year portraits.
Your experience is guided and planned ahead, so you can stay present while everything else is taken care of.

What's Included
We’ve all been there. We’ve all stressed over what to wear and waited till the last minute only to have the wrong size. The process of portraits is stressful and our mission is to care for every detail from start to finish. This includes what you are going to wear! We have wardrobe options for you and your little ones.
Client Wardrobe
I believe every mama deserves to feel beautiful and cared for—especially during a session day. If you’d like, I can connect you with a trusted professional hair and makeup artist who will come right to you.
This service is an optional add-on, and many clients find it’s the perfect way to feel pampered and photo-ready.
Hair & Makeup
After your session, we’ll schedule a two day online appointment so you can view your images in the comfort of your home.
No hard sells. No pressure. Just the chance to choose what you love most.
